Ray Charles was the stage name of Ray Charles Robinson (September 23, 1930 - June 10, 2004). He was a pioneering American pianist and soulmusician who helped shape the sound of rhythm and blues and brought a soulful sound to everything from country music to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of "America the Beautiful." Frank Sinatracalled him "the only genius in the business." In 2003, he headlined the White House Correspondents Dinner in Wash., DC, at which President and Mrs. Bush, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice, were in attendance. Astonishingly, he also performed at the request of the previous seven American presidents. During his life he received eight honorary doctorates, the last from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2003.

Ellie My Love Lyrics
Ray Charles
There were times I left your heart in pain
Time again I've turned and walked away
I get to where I'm going just to find
Won't be happy in this world
If you're not by my side
Ellie, my love so sweet
My heart told me to break away
Now I'm out here far away
Wish that I could hold you in the night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet
Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me won't you baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Ellie, my love so sweet
My heart told me to break away
Now I'm here so far away
Wish that I could hold you in the night
Then I'd wake up to a morning
That is warm and bright
Ellie, my love so sweet
Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me won't you baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Ellie, my love so sweet
Smile for me, won't you, baby
Forever you'll be on my mind
Drink with me won't you baby
We're gonna make it right this time
There's no one else like you
Anything you want, I'll do
Ellie, my love so sweet
Ellie, my love so sweet
